Will the Rock at some point start really embracing his blackness?

[Womb Raider]

Doesn’t he have a white daughter


As much as I love The Rock he does what works for him and claiming his blackness ain’t it

 

[Coli Bot]

Who cares. How will it affect your life?

he transcends race

Bruh, he ain’t black. If there was an APB out for him can you honestly say that he would be described as a black male?

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

yeah they reconciled before his passing but its common wrestling knowledge. he loves his mother though so he is a good guy but not a super hero like the media have made him out to be.

I always noticed over the years that he seemed to acknowledge his mother more than he did his pops. I just chalked it up to him not seeing him much growing up with him being on the road all the time.

yep its mainly in shoot interviews. his father cheated like all wrestling pops and was aggressive with his moms and the drinking.

Pro wrestling’s ‘Soulman’ Rocky Johnson, The Rock's dad, fought the odds and won

I’m torn on this, cuz when he first came out Vince had him in the black wrestler clique. And he didn’t really blow up until they pushed the Samoan angle. So I can’t really fault him from learning from experience.

That boy hates black people and want nothing to do with us

the Rock hates black people ? Where y’all get this from ?

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

This is one reason why I've never been able to rock (no pun intended) with him he's very far gone from his blackness to the point I wouldn't even view his as such, more like a Samoan with a tan .

Oh, that's right, it's a new year. Gotta get the annual "The Rock doesn't claim his blackness" thread out the way.

Even though the Rock has always identified as exactly what he is, half black and half Samoan. Outside of daps, if you created this thread for meaningful discussion, please give us examples of what it means to "embrace blackness." What kind of behavior is he not engaging in that he should be.


What exactly should The Rock be doing that he's not doing that apparently all the other black celebrities are doing?

 

[ThrobbingHood]

he transcends race

Isn't it funny that term is never used with white public figures.

Actions speak louder than words. Every role he takes is non black. Now what type of black man would do this?

It is interesting within history the biggest stars have this racial ambiguity about them.
